How to verify your WebAPI credentials

Introduction

This article is a step-by-step guide on how to verify your Infrascale's Web API (Application Programming Interface) credentials. For this article, we will use a SoapUI software as an example, which can be downloaded here.

API credentials are used for login using an integration with other 3d party tools and applications. You can find more details regarding available API methods on the following page:
Public APIs - Public - Confluence (atlassian.net)

If do not know your API credentials, please contact support.

Instructions

1) Download and install a tool that allows the execution of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) requests.

2) Click on File, Create Empty Project to create a new project.

3) Right click on the project and select Add WSDL (Web Service Description Language) from the menu.

4) Paste a WSDL link, an example of this is for the Account Management Service.

6) Double click on Request1 and fill in the following three fields in the request form:

7) Execute the request. You will get a result in the output section of the request. “Success” means the Web API credentials are valid.
